This is the second course of Riverside’s math honors program, which provides an opportunity for like-minded students to develop a community of peers and together nurture their passion, creativity, enthusiasm, and confidence in mathematics. This course can be entered from Math 9 Honours or if space is available from Math 9 with a teacher recommendation. The Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 curricular content will be covered in depth with basic concepts covered at an accelerated rate to allow more time for analyzing, evaluating, and applying knowledge. Learning activities will be structured to provide enrichment beyond the grade 10 curriculum with a focus on enhancing problem-solving and fostering higher levels of thinking. Enrichment may also be driven by the interests and passions of the students. Students are expected to be self-motivated and enthusiastic about enhancing their creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as having a solid work ethic and an aptitude for math. Students should enjoy challenges and be comfortable with risk-taking. Students are expected to participate in math contests. The core and curricular competencies will be addressed throughout the course.

Students will be placed in this course on the advice of the Counsellor and Mathematics teacher. Only students who have a history of difficulty in mathematics will be placed in this course. Students whose lack of success is due to poor work habits will not be placed in this course. The content is less demanding than Mathematics 9 and content will be adjusted to meet the abilities and needs of individual students. Calculators will be used to develop concepts and aid in computations. Math 9 Adapted students are currently integrated within the regular Mathematics 9 classroom. Being placed in this course could have implications for post-secondary options. The option to purchase math workbook is available if students choose to write in it.
